What is Juice Feasting?
Juice FEASTING involves consuming just fresh raw vegetable and fruit juices for 92 days, to cleanse the body of old toxins. This is termed a ‘FEAST’ rather than ‘FAST’ because one gets ALL the calories one would normally get in a day (i.e. 1500 for an average woman) – from at least 4 litres/1 gallon of fresh juice, daily (green vegetable juices, fruit juices and coconut water all included). Often when people fast they take in very small amounts of liquid/calories, the metabolism slows, their energy slumps, and they may feel quite ‘dysfunctional’. Juice Feasting works differently, supporting the feaster to be very functional in daily life and meeting all calorie needs, while experiencing massive cleansing on a cellular level.
The aims of Juice Feasting are to: Cleanse, Rebuild, Rehydrate and Alkalise.
What are ‘the rules’?
It is important to make sure you drink the juice of one head of celery and 2lbs (1kg) of green leafy vegetables a day (Celery is one of the most hydrating things we can get into our bodies – said to be 4 times as hydrating as water. It is also very mineral rich and ‘grounding’ and an incredible source of organic sodium. So, all round a great ingredient to be using. The greens are for balancing, re-mineralizing and alkalising). Other than that, all and any fresh raw juices of your choice – at least 4 litres/day – are on the menu. Also on the menu are nutrient dense green powders (e.g. spirulina or barley grass powder), bee pollen granules, digestive enzymes and hemp oil. Feasting is all about enjoying getting maximum nutrition into our bodies, with little energy expenditure by the body to assimilate it.
Why Juice Feast?
By consuming only liquids, which are absorbed directly into our system, we give the body a huge energy break from digesting foods. It can then use that saved energy to clean out old matter, especially from the small intestine. The average person holds 5-10lbs of toxic old matter in their intestines, and Feasting is an ideal way to release it, giving the body a phenomenal chance to rejuvenate and restore. Far from being a time of ‘deprivation’, this extraordinary healing programme is an experience of abundance and massive nutritional intake…we lose weight, skin becomes radiantly healthy, illnesses are healed, scar tissue rejuvenates, and we detox our whole system on a massive scale.
Why 92 days?
There are 92 elements the body needs to function optimally (that are known) – so the programme is based around that concept. David Rain, the creator of this programme, also explains that many of us need 92 Days to fully Cleanse, Rebuild, Rehydrate, and Alkalize, to resolve decades-old health challenges. We go back in time about 120 days for each day of Juice Feasting. Extended Feasts take a person into levels of cleansing and being that are not often reached on shorter fasts.
How much does Juice Feasting cost?
David Rain’s estimates are that a Juice Feast costs $ 10-15 a day in the USA, or £5-£7.50. Actual cost will obviously depend on where you are Feasting, access to good organic produce, and the kinds of foods you are choosing to juice. The main thing to realise is just how affordable this is for most people. Many people spend around £5/$ 5 a day just on lunch, so this really is a remarkable way to deeply cleanse your system without busting your budget. My experience so far in Costa Rica is that it is costing me LESS than £5 a day here – on average around £3.85 a day…wow…
You can register on the Juice Feast website – www.juicefeasting.com – for $ 30/month (£15). It is a treasure-trove of nutritional information and support. Every day has highlighted files of inspiring things to read and listen to, on themes like ‘the principle of life transformation’, ‘greens, chlorophyll and health’ and ‘obesity and weight loss’. Humour, graphics, and a musical soundtrack are used throughout. Registration is well worth the investment, to help keep yourself motivated and tapped in with others on this journey.
Who designed the Juice Feast programme?
David Rain of www.juicefeasting.com put together this juicing programme. David holds an M.A. in Vegan/Live Food Nutrition, and is Research Assistant to raw food leader Gabriel Cousens, M.D. at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Centre, in Arizona. David has personally undertaken three such extended juice feasts in the last four years, as well as coaching scores of other students. He sees remarkable transformation occur in every case. He is very pleased to be offering this incredible transformational tool to the world online.
Why am I doing this?
When I was first introduced to the Juice Feast, I was not very enamoured with the idea. I have undertaken many short-term fasts during my 4.5 years raw, but the thought of 92 days sounded too extreme. However, as I got more into the details, the concept resonated with me more and more until I reached the point where I could no longer resist it. I began to see

sounds racist, but cut out anything white. like sugar, flour and white bread. Instead of eating white bread, eat wheat. Instead of white sugar, use brown sugar or honey.
Also, its healthier to cut back on sodium too.
And do a little 10-15 minute workout at least 5 times a week. Its best to stay consistant.
Good Luck
I’m not trying to convert anyone to being a meat eater only health conscious. Starches, sugar, fruit do not promote weight loss, they do promote weight gain. As a vegetarian you need to be vigilant to meeting your protein requirements. I have major concerns about soy products effecting thyroid health. If you could add eggs to your diet, that would solve a multitude of problems.
I would suggest you convert your diet to more of a fat based (mainly coconut oil & olive oil) diet with much more low glycemic vegetables. Stay vigilant about meeting your protein requirements but try to keep your carbs <9grams per hour. I would suggest not eating many starches that don't significantly contribute to protein requirements. Significantly increase your consumption of nuts (peanuts are a legume not a nut - peanuts are fine, just realize the difference), flax seeds, chia seeds, spirulina.
Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) trigger insulin which can store the calories eaten into fat. The more protein the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.
High insulin levels promote inflammation, weight gain, hunger & unbalance other hormones. Controlling insulin levels will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so lean muscle will be gained even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase muscle mass with high HGH levels.
You have chosen a way of eating that needs you to know a great deal about nutrition and how the body processes foods. I wouldn't try to dissuade you but encourage you to educate yourself fully. Weight gain is a symptom of a problem, not the problem.
I would highly suggest chia seeds - 3.5 oz is nearly 500 calories, half calories from fat (high in Omega3 fatty acids) & 16grams of COMPLETE protein for 6grams carbs & 63% DV Calcium - 95% Phosphorus - 23% Zinc - 9% Copper - 108% Manganese.
Spirulina is also a good complete vegetarian protein.

Hi Im Ricardo
The faster is to do exercise and diet at the same time.
I have seen a very good diet who can help you. This diet tell you what to eat on 10 days, every meal from breakfast to the dinner and have very good suggestions how to make the food.
Also the same page have a very good tips for make exercise. I think one of the biggest reasons that people give up on exercising is because they stop seeing results, for this you must know about the Instant Metabolic Boosters:
INTERVAL TRAINING BURSTS
H.I.T. “High Intensity Training”
SQUATS
HILL SPRINTS
FRONTAL and TRANSVERSE PLANE MOVEMENTS
The diet and the explanation of the Instant metabolic booster are free and in one packet on the page on my sources
Thanks for your question. Feel free to contact with me and I will try to help you
Dietary control and exercise. It’s true what they say – all you need to do is watch what you eat, and expend more energy than you consume. It’s really that simple. You can quit reading this list now, you now know everything you need to know and didn’t need to fork over $ 500 for the privilege of me telling you the secret of losing weight. You don’t need to read a 4,000 page book, you don’t have to buy a tape series, you don’t need to stay up late at night to watch infomercials to understand this basic premise. It’s 100% true.
